Being honest Tom, Bravo has still to earn the respect from some fans which is fair do's. What he shouldn't be receiving is the vitriol that some seem to take joy in posting. He has been here a third of a season and has had nothing but turmoil in front of him. He deserves time and a settled defence before we will see if he is good enough.
Regarding Joe, I personally think people simply remember the worldies he pulled off occasionally, but again, being honest, he was poor in most other aspects of his game, but that seems to be swept under the carpet.
Bottom line is that Joe aint coming back, and Bravo needs time and a settled defence before any reasoned discussion could be held.
